Bug#196575: xserver-xfree86: I agree it's a general problem

[Guido Trotter <ultrotter@debian.org>]

Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-7
Followup-For: Bug #196575

I also agree it's a general problem: after the upgrade I weren't able
to start an X program anymore. I tried to restart xdm, but then X didn't
work at all, it closed suddenly after logging in. (Also xdm was
graphically changed, after restarting...)

If I try to manually start the server it works, showing me the
"classical" grey background with the mouse as an X, but no client is able 
to connect to it. Here is what the console reports:

waiting for X server to begin accepting connections .
AUDIT: Sun Jun  8 12:09:19 2003: 716 X: client 1 rejected from local
host
Auth name: XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 ID: -1
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Invalid XDM-AUTHORIZATION-1 key (failed key comparison)
..
  

Thanks for any help!

Guido

PS I'm going back to 4.2.1-6 from testing, hoping it works again...
